We thank Danielle Moran, Thalia Kurzel, Rebecca Zhang and Maggie Chong for the work and commitment they have shown to St Peter's during their time here.
Danielle is taking some time off next year to explore life outside of education after more than 20 years as a teacher. Her 7 years at St Peter's has seen Danielle work in the classroom, in the PE specialist role and as Maths Leader and intervention teacher. Our recent Maths results are a result of her hard work and dedication. We thank Danielle and wish her all the best.
Thalia and Rebecca are also taking time away from education to explore other opportunities, including travel. During their time here they have shown a commitment to our students and have always worked so our students can perform at their best. We thank them both.
Maggie has decided to enrol in a Masters of Education. We wish her well in her studies. You never know- we might see her back as a teacher!
We welcome Jacqui, Domenic and Grace. They all come to St Peter's School with knowledge and skills to support our students and provide an environment where they can flourish.
Students will have an opportunity to meet their teacher and classmates at our transition session on Friday 12 December at 11:30pm.
